10-week course schedule for time management training for IT professionals
To the trainer:
Please note that this is a sample agenda for a 10-week course on time management for IT professionals, based on this training manual. You could conduct these sessions in one hour, one-and-a-half-hour, or two hour time blocks. You could also conduct these sessions in person, over the phone, or through a webinar. You also know your attendees best. Modify this sample course schedule by adding or subtracting from the topics what you wish to cover. For example, you might want to turn Making the Most of Meetings into one complete session, instead of putting it with the 7th session on enhancing your verbal and written communication skills, and then you could add the current 9th session, Improving Your Work and Personal Relationships, to the 10th session, on Cultivating Work-Life Balance and Closing the Training.
